The Gransnet 10,000 steps a day club

Do I sense that, like for me, the novelty is wearing off a bit for some of us? It seems more of a chore these days. I had to force myself to top up my total to 10,289 yesterday. Coming on here keeps me going I think.

11,091 at 8.15 pm. I'm won't be moving a lot more today.

10,814 for me yesterday. Had plenty of time to walk so should have done more, but couldn't get my a*se into gear until late afternoon!

9093 for me yesterday but it was the last day of my holiday and we were driving around quite a bit. Back home next week and plan to walk twice a day. Hope the weather stays nice!

12018 for me today really pleased as have been feeling a bit low but forced myself out this morning and felt better the longer I was out walking. So onward and upward.

11,116, didn't think I'd get to 10,000 this morning felt very sluggish so quite pleased with final result.

Thankyou so much Gracesgran - I did feel rather heroic. Today I've done 5,000 so far. As I worked (sitting down) all morning, I'm content to have managed 5,000 and am now sitting down, thinking I may have a glass of wine at 6pm

I didn't realise Grace was her dog shysal. I don't mind at all but I was worried about usurping someone's name.

The pedometer looks good. It just needs to count steps at this point really.

Iam64 I don't know about three hours stripping wallpaper counting as steps - it deserves a medal in my book.

Oh yes, stripping uses lots of energy!

8,900 yesterday, but again 3 hours stripping wallpaper, surely that counts as it uses so many muscles

Gracesgran, I apologise for getting your name wrong above. You will know by now that there was a regular by the name of Gracesmum, Grace being her dog. Must pay more attention!

I have one of these, also available on Amazon. Only disadvantage in that it measures in Km, not miles.

The cheaper ones I have had in the past have either fallen off and got lost, or been inaccurate. I hope you decide to join us, and look forward to hearing of your progress.

I like the look of this. Presumably the first step is to measure what you are doing and work towards beating that bit by bit.

Do you have any recommendations for pedometers. That seems a good place to start

....and I've forgotten to put my pedometer on this morning!

Had a good day yesterday. Walked to the doctors and back then went blackberrying in the afternoon. Them berries are darned elusive so a lot of steps needed to find enough. Clocked up 16k but today will be a bit quieter - not so many steps between the jam pan and the sink!

9080 for me today

You have all put me to shame Thought I had been pretty good today but only managed 7629 I think I may regret asking DD2 for this FitBit

10,513 for today.

That's about it Gracesmum!

This seems like such a good idea. Is the idea that each and every day you do 10,000 steps or is there more to it than that?

Just scraped in at 10,287 yesterday. Aiming for a bit more these days.

12,195 today so far.

10058 for me today not quite sure how it happened as have only been browsing around shops etc.

That post would have been better if I had said "exactly how old young you are"
